This one's for Chezuki.
I tried the no flip burgers, they were great.

Picked up another Z-Grill identical to mine on FB marketplace for $75. I’ll put another $150 worth of Silverbac upgrade parts in it and double my cook capacity.

Controller, and stainless grates. I’ll check out the condition of the internals and possibly replace other parts if needed. All the Silverbac parts fit the 700 series zgrills.

Fired up some charcoal and did some spare ribs today. They turned out great.

Did chicken tonight. Cooked them on the grill til they were 155 internal, put them in a cast iron skillet covered in honey mustard. Cooked them to 165-170 internal, then put them in a different cast iron skilled with bacon mushrooms and Monterey cheese. Made homemade onion rings to go with it. Turned out great.

That looks really good.

Who picked the bacon out for you?

I don't have any pics but when I do onions, I do onion slices instead of rings. Kinda like green fried tomatoes. Lotta bang for the buck and fast.

It was great. Bought a packet of ranch and made some from scratch to dip it in. Still stuffed. I usually get bacon from value market for stuff like this, but this was just packaged bacon from Kroger I got when I was getting honey mustard.


Also, anyone know a good homemade honey mustard recipe? I was in a hurry so just used bottled, but homemade would’ve been a lot better.

My daughter makes some that we like. If she uses a recipe I'll have her send it to me, but she may just wing it. She does that with a lot of things.

She says uses the Vinegar. It is a runnier kind and not a thick one, not sure what kind you like.

Had some trouble with a pork butt today. My kids wanted friends over for supper so I threw an 8.5 lb pork butt on at 10:00 am, planning on eating at 7:30. I ran the grill at 250, thinking that 9 hours should be plenty. Wrapped it in pink paper at 4:00 when it hit 165 degrees. By 7:00, it was still at 167 degrees. This thing was stuck in the stall and wouldn’t budge. So I opened the vents and let the temp climb. Grill got up to 415 degrees, but the butt was still being stubborn. Finally at 9:30 it had reached 190 internal and was probe tender. I wanted to wait and let it get to 203 but everyone was hungry and it was getting late. Once I took it off, the bone did pull out pretty easy and the meat pulled pretty good. Could have been better. I’ve just never had a piece of meat be as stubborn as this one was.

Smoked, reverse sear, fry leftovers for steak-n-eggs breakfast the next day. I love tri tips...

It just happens sometimes. No two cuts are alike. I’ve had two butts within a few ounces of each other, from the same package, finish 4 hours apart.

@Hatin Since 87, if you don't mind saying, what do you use for your onion ring batter?

Also anyone else do onion rings that don't mind giving the secret recipe away?

Sorry just saw this, I just used flower and spices for the first dip, then dipped them in eggs and then bread crumbs. Helped them crisp a lot better.

Any of you folks using what one might call a "stackable grate" or something like this?

Amazon product ASIN B07WCRZF8J
Seems it could be handy for getting higher quantities of small items theough a single pass. I am thinking of one for when smoking fish, chicken wings, amd similar "low profile" items.
